Tolkien gave his reader his version of how the Universe was created – with Music! Ainulindale might be the Catholic equivalent of San Francisco in the 60s. Joaquin Miller wrote Song of the Sierras, and Songs of the Sun-Land. I am considering a book and movie with a Western Musical Theme. The Hope and Light of the World rests Out West. I founded the Nation of Fromond to counter the Red State Neo-Confederates.

Joaquin Miller had dinner with the Pre-Raphaelites and was my grandmother’s friend. This history is being compiled for the grant I am applying for. The history of the Pre-Raphaelites has not been discarded. Miller built a monument to my kin, John Fremont, the first Presidential Candidate for the Abolitionist Republican Party, and the first to emancipate slaves, forcing Lincoln’s hand. Miller may have met William Morris who was a great influence on Tolkien.
